Dinner

"Speaking of which, since we've gone in a circle so quickly and came back, this should just be a small island."

Ra shifted her gaze back to the distant sea.

"And it seems to be an uninhabited island. We haven't seen any signs of human activity along the coast," Obe added.

"The animals on the island seem to be avoiding us too. We saw footprints on the path, but no live ones, only a few crabs on the beach. It's really strange,"

Oshi joined the discussion. "By the way, I'm already a bit hungry. How about you, Ra-jie?"

"No, I'm not hungry at all."

"Huh? You've been awake the whole time and led us for so long, you should have consumed much more energy than us. How can you not be hungry?"

When it came to food, Oshi's thoughts moved especially quickly.

"This body is filled with divine power, so theoretically, I won't feel hunger or need to eat. You two should be able to do the same."

"Then why do I feel hungry?" Oshi asked.

"That's obvious, it's simply because you're greedy~" Obe said unhappily.

"How dare you speak to your elder like that, you impudent brat." Oshi immediately picked up her Zhou Li weapon.

"You!"

"It's because the divine power in my body is flowing, like blood, filling every part of my body and forming a circulation within me.

But the power in your bodies is still in a static state, so you need to supplement energy from the outside.

Once you can skillfully control the divine power within you, you won't need to eat anymore," Ra explained.

"I see. No wonder Big Sister always looks so full of energy."

Obe nodded, she adapted well to logical and coherent explanations.

"So what do we do? I'm getting hungrier the more I think about it. I really want some grilled chicken wings~ I shouldn't have played Yu-Gi-Oh!."

Oshi's true nature as a social recluse began to show. "Quack! Ra-jie, quickly use your invincible Power of the Sun God to think of a solution!"

"Don't make it difficult for Big Sister. We haven't seen anything with feathers along the way. Where am I supposed to find chicken wings for you?

It would be better to see if we can find some crabs on the beach," Obe said, though she was also a little hungry.

"How about this, I'll go into the forest and find some wild vegetables and fruits for you. Oshi, you two wait here for me."

"Big Sister, I'll go with you. The forest might have some dangers," Obe wanted to follow.

"No need. I happen to have a guess I want to verify.

You two wait here obediently. If my guess is right, there might be a surprise for you."

Ra refused Obe's company and walked into the woods with small steps.

But after two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back to instruct the two: "Don't run around here, and don't fight."

"Okay—" *2

Seeing them nod obediently, Ra turned and continued towards the forest.

Half an hour later, under a giant tree near the center of the forest, Ra found a large group of animals gathered together.

[These animals include both carnivores and herbivores, yet they are all gathered together...

It seems they were frightened by the aura of Oshi and Obe. Their survival instinct has overridden their predatory instinct, so they're hiding together.]

Ra's guess was correct. Oshi and Obe were unable to control their auras properly.

Although they couldn't use their powers yet, the aura of Phantom Gods was unscrupulously pouring out, scaring all the animals on the island into hiding and trembling.

This was also why the group wasn't attacked when they first arrived in this world, despite being unconscious.

Of course, even if wild beasts had attacked them fearlessly at the time, they probably wouldn't have been able to break through their skin.

Ra had already tried it. Even without using divine power, this current body's strength in all aspects was still terrifyingly high.

The animals showed no reaction to Ra's arrival. After all, they didn't dare to approach the three who descended from the sky, so they didn't recognize Ra. They only thought she was also there to hide from those two calamities.

As for restraining her aura, Ra had done so naturally as soon as she woke up. Coupled with her innate halo of universal affection, which she hadn't discovered yet, Ra appeared kind and harmless to the animals at this moment.

One animal that looked like a black and white bear even moved back a little, making space for her.

But unfortunately, Ra's emotions weren't developed enough to make friends with animals.

Her gaze swept over the group of tigers, leopards, deer, and sheep, and she quickly chose her prey.

Ra extended a finger, and two fluorescent flames appeared at her fingertips, flying towards two chicken-like creatures, instantly incinerating their feathers.

After dealing with the feathers, the flames expanded, completely engulfing the two chickens. Soon, their skin was lightly browned from the roasting, while their internal organs were completely burned to nothing.

Ra's control over fire was rapidly improving. Even a small flame could precisely control the temperature of different areas.

Amidst the sudden trembling of the other animals, Ra walked over and picked up the two roasted chickens to examine them.

"The wings are a bit small. Did they degenerate because it was too difficult to fly without wind? I hope Oshi doesn't mind."

Leaving the group of animals that were almost scared to death, Ra carried two chickens in one hand and also collected some wild fruits from around the area—these were all varieties that Ra had personally tasted and found to be good.

As for whether it was poisonous, Ra felt there was no need to distinguish; biological toxins would likely only serve as natural seasoning for the three of them at this point.

After picking two large leaves and filling two gourds made from bamboo-like plants with mountain spring water, Ra, using her long skirt to carry a large pile of items, headed back the way she came.

"Wow~ So amazing, Ra-jie! You actually found food, and it's roast chicken! Yay!"

Back on the shore, Oshi, who had been lying on the ground from hunger, saw the large pile of food and immediately flipped over like a kitten, jumping up.

Ra crouched down and placed all the food she had gathered in her skirt onto the leaves.

"Oshi, sit properly and eat slowly, don't gobble it down.

There's water in the bamboo tubes, don't choke.

The pile of fruits to your left is sweet, and the other pile is a bit sour, so don't mix them up.

There's also one chicken left for Obe, so don't eat it all... Obe, you should sit down and eat too."

"Got it."

Obe sat down as she spoke, but didn't start eating immediately. Instead, she tore off a chicken leg and offered it to Ra first.

"Big sis, you eat too."

"Oh! Right, right! Ra-jie, you eat too~" Oshi also realized and similarly tore off a wing to hand to her.

Ra initially wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but seeing their hopeful gazes, she smiled and accepted the chicken leg and wing.

The three of them sat together like this, enjoying their first dinner since arriving in this world.
